The Search Has Begun
At the beginning of May, it became known that Liz Yorck, who has been director of the Youth Department since May 2021, had resigned and would be leaving the position at the end of June. Today, it appears City Hall has begun the search for her replacement. According to the announcement found on the City of Hudson website, the beginning salary is $64,804 and the start date is July 14, 2025. The job description can be found here. Interested candidates should send their resume and a letter of interest to Mayor Kamal Johnson at mayor@cityofhudson.org.
🙋♂️ Hmmmmm… why is there a website post and public job description for the new Director of the Youth Center…. but an unpublished (completed) search for the City Clerk?
ReplyDeleteBoth are Department Heads. Both are important.
Should there be a consistent practice?
Maybe there is a good reason to do with Labour Unions and Civil Service exams?
Luckily Tracy left her team well trained and with depth of experience and a positive culture.
As Director, be prepared to handle maintenance of all of Oakdale Park all year, including mowing of the grass. Just about the only thing DPW will do there is arrive by garbage truck once a week to remove the garbage you have collected for them. You will also be spending time in the Youth Department's summer office inside the bathhouse, an ugly old building with a leaky roof that is likely full of mold and possibly a sick building. The replacement of that building was discussed years ago but not recently. Thought you might want to know before you sign up. Oh, and it has come to the attention of the city that National Grid owns a large portion of the wooded area behind the lake where the summer camp typically holds activities. National Grid does not want anyone back there trespassing on their property. Oh, lastly, the summer camp was interrupted last year due to a toxic algae bloom in the lake that put an end to swimming and boating. The lake looks to be in worse shape this spring than it did last spring.
